Inspection of vessels by is undertaken by Border Force on a case by case basis depending on the intelligence held and the level of assessed risk.

Border Force operates an intelligence led and risk assessed approach to managing the maritime border. This allows Border Force to provide effective border controls up and down the country. Border Force maintains close working relationships with law enforcement partners and related agencies who also use an intelligence-led approach in accordance with assessments of known and inferred risk.

Border Force shares information on possible subjects of interest with EU law enforcement partners and continues to work very closely with them to enable real time interventions where appropriate.

The issues raised are a matter for the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) who are operationally independent from Government.

The questions have been passed on to the FCA. The FCA will reply directly to the Honorable Member by letter. A copy of the letter will be placed in the Library of the House.

The Government are committed to transforming out-of-hospital care for everyone, in every community, by 2020. We have seen excellent progress in areas led by integration pioneers, such as South Devon and Torbay. My hon. Friend’s own area also has in place a number of initiatives, such as the community treatment team and intensive rehabilitation service, which is rated very highly in her local community.

Abolishing employer national insurance contributions for under-21s is expected to help Scottish businesses save £45 million and support jobs for 138,000 young people. Extending that to apprentices under 25 will help about 31,000 apprentices in Scotland, and it will be more than £1,000 a year cheaper to employ an apprentice earning £16,000.

Complaints about poor service should be directed to the communications provider who supplies the broadband service and that customers have a contractual relationship with. Openreach is not a customer-facing organisation; it was created to offer all communications providers providing retail broadband and telephone services equality of access to BT's network.

Openreach is accountable to communications providers to meet its responsibilities to manage the local access network infrastructure that connects customers to their local telephone exchange. Communications providers have a duty of care to manage consumer complaints and ensure that Openreach provides a high quality service.

Customers who are dissatisfied with the handling of their complaint by communications providers have the option of an alternative dispute resolution (ADR) scheme. An ADR Scheme is an independent system of redress for customers who feel they have been poorly or unreasonably dealt with by a communications service provider. Ofcom, the independent telecommunications regulator, requires all communications providers to be a member of such a scheme.

Since 1 July Ofcom has applied new rules to bring about faster line repairs and installations for telephone and broadband customers. As a minimum Openreach must, over the course of a given year:

• Complete 80% of fault repairs within one to two working days of being notified, irrespective of factors such as severe weather conditions.

• Provide an appointment for 80% of new line installations within 12 working days of being notified, irrespective of factors such as severe weather conditions.

• Ensure it adheres to these new standards across the country.

• Provide data on repairs and installations that are not completed within this timeframe. This information will allow Ofcom to monitor Openreach’s performance closely and intervene further if required, as this includes the ability to impose fines if necessary.

The only way to keep the pound as it is now is for Scotland to stay in the UK. No one should assume that an independent Scotland should continue to use the pound.

It is highly unlikely that a currency union would be in the best interests of either an independent Scotland or the continuing UK.

As the euro area has shown, currency unions require members pulling together in strong political and fiscal union, not pulling apart. Those who propose independence want to break the UK's successful political and fiscal union.

An independent Scotland and the UK would have different and diverging economies and a one-size fits all monetary policy may not be desirable for either country. An oil price shock would have very different effects in Scotland compared with the rest of the UK.

If there was any sign that a currency union lacked credibility, the financial markets would lose confidence in both members and borrowing costs would increase amid speculation of a break.

The Government has made no formal assessment of the Law Commission's proposals as set out in their Interim Statement of 9 April 2013. We are awaiting the Law Commission's final report before considering the recommendations in their entirety.

This Department does not hold the information requested.

The Department does not hold comprehensive data on personal injury road accidents involving motorised mobility scooters. Data on this issue were first collected (on a non-mandatory basis) in 2012, with 12 out of 51 police forces in Great Britain supplying data. Across these forces, there were 84 reported personal injury road accidents involving mobility scooters. The data for earlier years are not available.

The Department is working to obtain data on this issue from all forces by 2015.

I begin by congratulating my hon. Friend on her inclusion in the new year honours. I know her great many friends and fans across the Principality will share my delight at that recognition.

The automotive industry is vital to the Welsh economy, accounting for more than one-fifth of manufacturing turnover and generating more than £3 billion annually. The industry has also been instrumental in attracting foreign direct investment to Wales.
